Twatter was a sewer before Musk bought it, now it's a radioactive sewer. I still have an old account, but it's dormant. I haven't used it in years.

I'm now terrified to use it at work - it's just a matter of time before something flashes on my screen and I'm dragged in front of HR.

Mine is 0.1%.

Switching gears, imagine X had it's name changed to Twitter? It's an equally stupid name that we only accept because it was the original - stupid - name. Like seriously, "tweeting" doesn't sound (frank)ing dumb?

Having said that, I use X often enough and could not care less about my "followers". I suspect 75-80% of the X userbase are bots and, again, I don't care.

It's the only social media site I actively use (Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, etc. can (frank) off). It's divisive as (frank) and spending any more than 10-20mins is actively toxic, but hey, it's no worse than HockeyBuzz in that regard.

At least it's no longer an actively fascistic company ostensibly controlled by the Feds.

A free, "market place of ideas" is necessarily a radioactive sewer because you're going to be exposed to ideas and ideologies that are potentially toxic and radioactive... to you.

That's the nature of free speech, baby. Being exposed to trash forces you to build a stronger argument or retreat into a self-reinforcing echo chamber.

Showcasing robertson, Holmberg and Timmins for a future trade, maybe.
- Fakepartofme


I could see that… especially Robertson and Timmins.. their style just don’t seem like the type that would fit under Berube… who knows tho

Well, when authoritarian governments have made requests of Leon he has complies, but an app being moderated according to the whims of one ownership group or another is not a free speech issue. Everybody's speech in the west at least is freer than it's ever been in all of human history, what's going on at Twitter or X doesn't affect that at all.

Well, in fairness, you have to approve them following you, don't you?!?

Ten years ago, porn coming* to you would have seemed like a dream, lol.

I only use it as a quick link to a few outlets and individuals that interest me. I never post and don’t really read through all the stupidity that flow after someone posts something.

It is now owned by a fascist....who doesnt allow for free speech.
Musk has promoted that if anyone says anything negative about him or trump in certain regards (if identified) the tweet could be deleted or blocked.

I agree that a free market place of ideas is useful. X isn’t that when the algorithms are so slanted in order to promote the views of the owner.

Agree with this. I use it a lot. Depends on how you set it up (who you follow) Mine is set up as a modern Sports/News Wire Service. Give the Bots the Boot every so often.

Plus there is some great content, like this-

I think Matty and Wolly should see very limited pre season games/practices.

Too much on the line, makes no sense.

Except that the coaching staff is implementing all new systems. Let them get up to speed.

Edit: thought you said Willie and not Wolly who probably doesn’t have a lot of the new systems work to do.
